My man, Kevin Smith of the Detroit Lions, is on the rage again. You might recall his, "Detroit to the playoffs this coming season" guarantee a while back. Well, this time Smith is throwing down with the, "not only will Detroit make it to the playoffs, but I will lead them there" guarantee.
In a recent blog entry, Smith states the following:
For me being in shape and ready to go is a must. It’s not even an issue. I feel I’m a tempo-setter, so I have to be in great shape and looking and feeling good for this training camp.
I feel I have the mentality that I’m the lead dog and I’m going to set the tempo. It’s a mentality I like to take on and you can do it if you have the killer instinct. When you lead by example, there are always some guys who notice you and want to go in the same direction, which is great as long as it’s a positive direction.

I love this guy, and he is exactly what the 0-16 Detroit Lions need going into this season: if he can deliver. His mouth and his blog are writing all kinds of checks that his legs and his head are going to have to cash on the field.
I will say, though, that he has the talent and potential to make good on his playoff promises; and if he can turn an 0-16 team into a playoff contender (even if they lose 75-0 in the first round), he will have solidified instant superstar status.
